It’s sometimes easy to forget that celebrities, for all their riches and star power, are the same as the rest of us. As a result, they’re subject to the same joys and sorrows, the same heartbreaks and shocks and tough times in life.
Perhaps we would do well to remember that the next time we’re jumping into sensationalistic headlines and believing rumors that crop up without any evidence. Celebrities are people too, and challenging periods come for them as well.
Don’t believe us? You need only look as far as Ed Sheeran, whose wife was cruelly diagnosed with cancer last year while pregnant with the couple’s second child.
He’s known worldwide as one of the most successful music artists of his genration, but Ed Sheeran’s had more than his fair share of worry in the last couple of years.
As per reports, he and wife Cherry Seaborn have been married since 2019, having initially gotten together in 2015.
Yet their worlds were turned upside down last year when Cherry was diagnosed with cancer while pregnant. Compounding Sheeran’s sense of woe was the fact that his best friend died that same month.
Speaking in his Disney+ docu-series Ed Sheeran: The Sum of It All, Sheeran explained: “Cherry’s health, it was really bad, and then suddenly my best friend Jamal dies.
“You guys said, ‘Do you want to make a documentary?’ And I went, ‘Yeah, it should be me in the studio and we’ll play the gig.
“That’s not what the documentary is.”
The camera than cuts to Sheeran in floods of tears as he travels in the back of a car.
Sheeran’s wife Cherry revealed in the same documentary that doctors discovered a tumor in her arm during the sixth month of her pregnancy.
“I got diagnosed with cancer at the start of the year….,” she said. “It made me massively reflect on our mortality. I would never agree to do anything like this, but it made me think, ‘Oh if I died, what’s people’s perception of me? What do you leave behind?’”
She continued: “For Ed, the whole point is he wants to say to people, ‘I’m not just this music machine. I’m not just this robot that tries to get No. 1. I’m a father, I’m a son, I’m a friend.’ It wasn’t until this year when I was like, ‘I might die.’”
Following months of worry, Cherry successfully delivered she and her husband’s second child. She underwent successful surgery to address the tumor in her arm shortly thereafter.
We can’t begin to imagine the worry that must have gripped Ed Sheeran upon learning his wife had a tumor while pregnant. Thank God everything turned out okay.
In a shocking turn of events, pop sensation Lizzo has been removed from consideration for the Super Bowl LVII Halftime
In a shocking turn of events, pop sensation Lizzo has been removed from consideration for the Super Bowl LVII Half time Show following a series of disturbing allegations made against her by former dancers.
The allegations include claims of sexuaI harassment and fat-shaming, which have cast a shadow over Lizzo’s self-proclaimed image as a body-positive activist. This unexpected development has sent shockwaves through both the entertainment industry and Lizzo’s fanbase, leaving her team scrambling to salvage her career and reputation.
Earlier this month, three of Lizzo’s former backup dancers, Crystal Williams, Noelle Rodriguez, and Arianna Davis, filed a lawsuit accusing the singer of fostering a hostile work environment.
The lawsuit sent ripples through the media, particularly due to Lizzo’s public advocacy for body positivity and self-acceptance. The controversy has brought her career into question, prompting the NFL to swiftly drop her from consideration for the coveted Super Bowl Halftime Show perfor mance, a spot she was rumored to be one of the front-runners for in 2024.
A source close to the NFL reveaIed that talks of Lizzo’s involvement in the Halftime Show or even performing the National Anthem have been quashed in the wake of these allegations.
Despite Lizzo’s vehement denial of the accusations, the potential damage to her image and career seems insurmountable at this point. The abrupt removaI from the Super Bowl consideration has sent shockwaves through her fanbase, industry insiders, and media outlets alike.
As Lizzo’s potential career-saving opportunities dwindle, her team faces an uphill battle to counteract the negative press and public sentiment.
A source revealed that her team is desperately trying to come up with a strategy to save her sinking ship. The source further discIosed that the situation is becoming increasingly challenging as more people come forward with similar accusations against the artist. The allegations are eroding her image as an icon of body positivity and empowerment, leaving many questioning her authenticity and integrity.
Despite the immense success and significant earnings Lizzo has enjoyed throughout her career, it appears that her moment in the spotlight is at risk of fading away.
The source asserted, No one knows if she will be able to recover from this. If she speaks out, her statements are shredded. If she stays quiet, she is called a coward. Either way, it does not appear at this moment that she can recover from this.
The impact of the allegations has been magnified by the fact that they are coming from indivi duals who were a part of Lizzo’s inner circle. In an interview with Good Morning America, Crystal Williams, Noelle Rodriguez, and Arianna Davis shared their experiences, revealing stories of alleged harassment and mistreatment.
The dancers claimed that Lizzo created an environment that was both se xuaIIy charged and hostile. These allegations directly contradict Lizzo’s image as a champion of body positivity and empowerment, raising concerns about the authenticity of her public persona.
